Bastian Fromm, PhD

Senior researcher

The center of my research is the evolution of microRNAs, their function and roles in disease such as cancer, host-parasite interactions and the corresponding molecular basis of quantitative changes in their expression. I am Molecular Biologist by training and use bioinformatics methods for genome wide pan-metazoan miRNA complement analyses. I am experienced in working with NGS data and the annotation of novel miRNAs (MirGeneDB.org).

Vaishnovi Sekar

PhD student

I am interested in the regulatory functions of microRNAs and the interaction with their targets in an individual cell. For this, I analyze highly custom single cell transcriptome data and integrate these into a mathematical model describing microRNA functions.

Marcel Tarbier

PhD student

My main focus is on understanding the impact of different layers of transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation on global gene expression patterns. To do so I mainly analyse data from single-cell RNA-sequencing.

Till Schwämmle

Intern

I am a recent graduate in Developmental, Neural and Behavioral Biology from the University of Göttingen. During my internship I will support the group in wet-lab practices such as the creation of fusion proteins.
